CHARLESTON, S.C., (September 11-12, 2021) – Saturday marked the start of the fall 2021 regatta season with the full conference Fall 2021 SAISA Coed Open Regatta hosted by the College of Charleston. Teams were met with light breeze and aggressive currents on Saturday morning with racing north of the USS Yorktown near the marsh. After a brief break, racing moved to Crab Bank where the afternoon breeze filled in providing good but somewhat unpredictable conditions for the second half of Saturday and Sunday morning. Sunday racing wrapped up around 1:30 as the breeze died while the current did not.
